Our fraud risk assessment template enables you to identify, assess, and document fraud risks across financial transactions, procurement, payroll, and other high-risk areas. It’s a systematic tool for spotting red flags and recording mitigation actions with clear audit trails.

According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), over half of fraud cases are linked to inadequate internal controls, which is why proactive assessment is essential. This template is tailored to address the specific fraud scenarios and internal control challenges facing your organization. For broader risk management, you can also browse through our business risk assessment or vendor risk assessment templates.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most common fraud risks businesses face today?

Businesses most often face fraud risks in areas like procurement, payroll, financial reporting, and cyber transactions. Common risks include invoice fraud, payroll manipulation, asset misappropriation, expense reimbursement schemes, and phishing or business email compromise.

How can a company identify red flags for potential fraud?

Red flags include unusual transactions, missing documentation, unexplained adjustments, employee lifestyle changes, and pressure to override controls. Reviewing patterns and conducting regular audits helps uncover these early warning signs, enabling you to intervene before significant losses occur.

What steps are involved in performing a fraud risk assessment?

Steps include identifying risk areas, mapping out existing controls, assessing likelihood and impact, evaluating control effectiveness, and documenting findings. You should then assign responsibilities for remediation and monitor progress on mitigation actions.

Where do fraud risks most often go undetected in organizations?

Fraud risks often go undetected in decentralized or fast-growing business units, areas with manual processes, and roles where one person controls multiple steps without oversight. Weak segregation of duties and poor documentation can make these risks harder to spot.
